Santa Cruz and Tucson Ditch.

Work was commenced this week on .he Santa Cruz and Tucson Ditch owned 0y the Santa Cruz Land & Water Com pany, incorporated under the laws of Arizona,
 The head of the ditch or canal IS two miles north of the town of Tubsc, on land owned and cultivated by the Otero family for upwards of century, and st a point where the waters of the Santa Cruz river, even in the driess seasons, never fail, for this reason the location was selected, it also being at a point where the river is about sixty feet in width. with a stony bottom and firm banks, snd no better place could have been chosen for the head gate.
 The Santa Cruz is an underground river, sinking end running for several miles, then again coming to the sur faOe, as at Tubac, San Xavler and Tue son, where thousands of acres are brought under a high state of cultiva- ton, the land producing annually two crops.
 The Santa Cruz drains large scope 3i country. both in Arizona and Sonors, and has tributary to it several streams hsyiag q never falling supply of water. The ditch will be taken out on the west side of the river and follow along the mesa line down tue valley for dis- tsnce Ui about ten miles, when IL will be taken across the Santa Cruz bottom to the mesa lands on the east side of fine valley and thence to TuoaOn Rv this means at least 100000 acres of first clnss bottom and mesa land will be made to produce both agricultural and fTGIt crops, and hundreds of families EIl! be enabled to make themselves good homes.
 All the land 10 be covered by this ditch has been subdivided by the govern ment. A railroad has been surveyed through the valley from CalsbGsss to Tucson, which, when built, will furnish transportation for the different kinds of produce that can be raised to perfeo- tinn in this valley, such as corn, wheat, barley, alfalfa. grapes, peaches. plums, fss, apples, pears, vegetables, etc.
 The incorporstors, Messrs. John Au- derson, Sabino Otero, Geo. J Roekruge, N. s. Snyder and Frank Proctor, are well known residents of Pima county, and they intend pushing the work of construction to completion as fast as possible.
 Mr. Roskruge, the county surveyor, is .: present engaged on the surveys and plsns connected with the enterprise and in due time prospectus and maps will be issued.

What am I to Do?

The symptoms of BillIousness are un- happily but too well known, They dit- fer in different iOdiyiduals 10 some ex- tent. A Bilious man IS seldom break fs.. eater. Too frequently, slas, be has an excellent appetite for liquids but
 one for solids of a morning. Ills tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred' it is rough, at all events. :.
 The digestive system is wholly out of order and Dlarrhea or Constipation rnsy be 0 symptom or the the two may alternate. There are often Hemor- rboids or even loss of blood. There may be eiddiness and often headache and scidity or hstulence snd tenderness m the pit of the stomach.

Public Services Rewarded.

This end of OaiifOrbia is included in i ihs Ia.litsTT department c. Arizona,
 with headquarters ot Los Ansoles. The
 people of AIzons have suffered untold
 ouirAses by the hostile Apsohes, who
 are natively savage and brutal. Their cussedness Les Gt times been aggravated
 by the acts of inefficient, corrupt and
 selfishly ambitious civil and military officers. II Is probably 0 demnrstr8ble fRel that, excepting n 1872 and
 1873, when General Crook was in com r1.nd with the rank of lieutenant colo pei. and dnring General Miles admins
 trstiOD, the full power of the military in
 Arizona hos not been used to su5due the ApHches. General Crook won the praise of the suffering people and brigsdier- ship for bis good work in 1872 3. In 1856, he apparently use3 the power en- trutsed by law to him for the public good. to crush what be supposed to be Opposition 10 himself instead of crush ing the Apsohes, in the vain hope of se- curing a major generalship, but, as par sial reward. he was relieved ot his com msnd and General Miles assigned tO it. General Crook possesses the highest capacity for fighting hostile Indians; NIs
 Eas ine1cusable.
 General Miles at once found double hostility confronting him: that of the Apnches and of his predecessor and sieiL. Having failed Co subdue Geroni- mo and his murderous band, with chances cf promotion diminished and with that jealousy altogether too prevalent in the army, Crook doubtless hoped Miles would fail and noted accordingly, and for time seemed 10 have the active friendship of the War Depariment and General of the army. But Miles evi- dently unites good citizenship with ef rective military quslines, and deter mined to win both fights. He did win the Apache fight in about e tiihe of the time Crook was playing for 6 major generalship at the expense of the public treasury and human life.
 Now as to the rewards: Crook wss en- coursged (to put it mildly to ssk Co be relieved of his command, and to this date, is brigadier general; Miles sub dued the renegade Apsches, practically Overcame the jealous opposition, was complimented by the President of the United States. won and retains the sin cere thanks of the people of Arizona and Sonora, and by them, Op the 8th inst, vas presented with a magnificent sword. The presentation ceremony occurred st Tucson, and was accompanied by ban ques, speeches, etc. The Generals speech was noted for good civil and mil itary sense. Hundreds of settlers who had suffered much by the Apaches, came long distacces to personally see and thank an honest, brave and efficient oi- hcer Such were hIs rewards for faith fnl service. IL is safe to say General Niles prefers them to a major general ship.-Chino Valley ChampIon.

THE NENrHoU

HE Democrats will have A rnaioritv ,r the next House, bul it w.ll be small I, Will, probably enable them to organize the House, but il will not enable them ihdulge Tn any rampant Legislation.
 They will have l6S members and the Republicans will have l53. This will give the Democrats a majority of l5 over the Republicans.
 But there are several factors to be considered iG this connection which might change the situation very much. In addition 10 inc regular Republicans snc Democrats there are four InSepsn- dents. EIf they should acs with the Re pn5hcEna is would reduce the Demo cratic majority Co II.
 IL Is also to be considered that among the l6S s1-calied Democrats there are four members Eho, although returned as Democrats, were distinctively Labor candidates. They have, it is said. shown considerable independence oI spirit since their election, and may yei refuse to scl with She Democrats. In the event oi iheir detection, the majority of the Democrats would be reduced c. three. cbnoge of six votes would give tie majority 10 the coalltioaisis, in She event that the first named Independents vote with the Republicans.
 The Democrats will, under the cir cunstanoes, have 10 go slow. They have not a majority which would ena- ole them to indulge in al kinds of sbsurdisies and in Demccrsiio eccen- tric.sies. They will have 10 be dis erect. TheT viii have .o consider caIe- fully iust what the people want and what they do not want. Without suet care they cannot avoid deiest in She House.
 The kind oi Legislation in which this GIll probably be the mos. noilceable will be with respect 10 the tariff. Divided as the Democrats are upon this qucs tion, they will be able to accomplish nothing to which Randall will not con sent. This is to say that there will be Do reduction in the tGriI.
 For the like reason IL will probably be impossible fc- RanG.n 10 force B redCc- tioD, or any rute. @ abolition of t5e internal revenue tax He will be checkmsted in thIs, just as he will checkmste the other Democrats In their attempt to reduce the duties on i'm ports.
 If out of this the Democrats will be able to reap any advantage to their party, ve are unssle :o see where they will gGther it. With respect to ex- .;eme p2Ity leSislltion, the session will De fruislsss, aud, wi'Lout this, there will be no making of political capital Denver Republican.
